Natural Hot Spring Bath Tour Tsuki no Mure

A Hidden Gem You’ll Want to Keep Secret

I stayed here even though it had just opened and there wasn’t much information available yet. To put it modestly, it was an outstanding inn. Impeccably clean throughout, with a soothing scent of wood in the building, and exceptional hospitality that makes guests feel truly relaxed—an incredibly comfortable place to stay. The private hot-spring bath had a wonderful natural aroma and a charming atmosphere (it was cleaned frequently, so it was comfortable no matter when I went). The indoor bath smelled pleasantly of hinoki cypress, and the spacious open-air bath in the large public bath area was especially refreshing. The building beautifully blends old and new. The guest rooms aren’t huge, but they’re well laid out and very cozy. I was satisfied with everything, but what stood out most was the food. Each dish was carefully prepared, featuring local Izu ingredients with creative twists that gave every course its own character. It wasn’t just delicious—it was exciting. They were also extremely thoughtful about ingredients I can’t eat; instead of making casual substitutions, they served heartfelt dishes that truly impressed me. Breakfast was also excellent—wonderfully prepared with health in mind. All of the staff were genuinely pleasant, and throughout the property you can see thoughtful touches designed to help guests enjoy a happy stay. I’m deeply grateful for such a comfortable experience. It may not be widely known yet, but I suspect it will soon become an inn that’s impossible to book. I’d love to visit again.
